...una bestia de metal y aire...
La Jornada Michoacán, 2004
Terrazas is able to scavenge and find beauty in what is left.
Max Go, 2007
Un sonido asimétrico, que rechina, que vocifera hasta el límite, que es libre de principio a fin. Y lo mejor de ese sonido es que te exige, al escucharlo, que tú también lo seas, que tú también rompas el molde, salgas de lo convencional.
Gabriel Trujillo, 2011
That Wilfrido is -pardon me- a mother fucker.
Roscoe Mitchell, 2011
You turned the flute into an extreme sport.
Theodora, a 17-year-old flute student from Kefalonia, Greece, 2012
Sensei del viento.
Georgina Derbez, 2012
Un portento musical con barbas.
Jaime Cháidez Bonilla, 2015
You're like my third soulmate on this planet.
Anne La Berge, 2016
I'd say Wilfrido Terrazas is a Mexican revolutionary.
Andrew Drury, 2016
Every time you walk into a room you change people's lives.
Claire Chase, 2017
...spot-on rendering of the desert wind...
Steven Schick, 2018
Wilfrido Terrazas just shattered me. So unbelievably moving.
Nicholas Deyoe, 2018
Professor Terrazas' compositions are innovative. To be honest, when I first started listening, they sounded a bit bizarre. However, as I listened more, the improvisations with flute gave me the feeling of being integrated into ever-changing nature.
Chu Li, a student in my Mexican folk music class at UCSD, 2020
Wilfrido Terrazas continues to push the envelope for state-of-the-art contemporary flute performance.
